Assigning a Role Automatically to all new users

[chrislynch8]

Hi,

This seems like a basic feature that should be included but how can I assign a user to a role or role to a user automatically when I create a user or import them.

I seems that when a user is create they should have the most restrictive access rights to start with.

Is this something that I can do easily?

Hi Chris

You may create a logic_hook before_save for module Users.

The logic_hook class may looks like that one:

 <?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
 
class UserLogicHook {
    function addInProfile(&$focus, $event, $arguments) {
        $query = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE id = '{$focus->id}'";
        $result = $focus->db->query($query, true);
 
        if($focus->db->getRowCount($result) == 0) {
            $query = "SELECT id FROM acl_roles WHERE name = '<RoleName>'";
            $result = $focus->db->query($query, true);
 
            if($focus->db->getRowCount($result) == 1) {
                $row = $focus->db->fetchByAssoc($result);
                $focus->load_relationship('aclroles');
                $focus->aclroles->add($row['id']);
    
                require_once('modules/ACL/install_actions.php');
            } else {
                sugar_die("Role '<RoleName>' does not exist! Contact the system administrator");
            }
        }
    }
}
?>  

Obviously you need to replace the <RoleName> by the desired Role Name.

Hi, I was reading this post and it looks exactly like what I need.
What I'd like to know is what file exactly do I need to add this code to?
Thanks.

custom/modules/Users/UserLogicHook.php

This file will be invoked by the logic hook.
Please refer to sugarwiki to understand how to configure a logic hook.
